Powerhouse Ventures Announces Maiden Cash Profit Guidance
Powerhouse Ventures Limited (ASX – PVL) has taken a significant step forward by issuing its maiden cash profit guidance for the financial year ending June 30, 2025. The company anticipates a cash profit exceeding $200,000, a milestone that reflects the successful evolution of its business model from a cash-reliant investment holding entity to a self-sustaining financial group with active operating units.
This guidance is underpinned by robust performances in its Corporate Advisory and Treasury divisions, which have driven revenue growth despite one-off restructuring costs related to acquisitions and integration efforts. The company’s confidence in maintaining stable market conditions is a key assumption behind this forecast, with final figures subject to audit confirmation.
Strategic Transactions Highlight Growth Trajectory
These deals exemplify Powerhouse’s merchant capital model, which combines proprietary deal sourcing with capital alignment and corporate advisory execution. This approach not only strengthens shareholder registers but also positions the companies involved for strong market reception.
Funds Management and Future Outlook
Beyond transactional success, Powerhouse Ventures is advancing its funds management offerings, including the Aliwa Alpha Fund, a listed ASX microcap fund, and Burleigh Ventures, which targets private asset critical infrastructure opportunities. Both products remain on track, promising to expand the group’s assets under management and diversify revenue streams.
Looking ahead, the company maintains direct exposure to high-growth sectors such as quantum computing, space infrastructure, and material science. These investments, combined with the operational independence of its business units, position Powerhouse Ventures to capitalize on emerging opportunities while continuing to support Australia’s most promising growth companies.
Executive Chairman James Kruger emphasised the group’s unique merchant capital model and its ability to deliver consistent deal flow and market support, underscoring the company’s trajectory toward building substantial shareholder value.
Bottom Line?
Powerhouse Ventures’ maiden profit guidance marks a turning point, but sustaining momentum amid market shifts will be key.

- How will the settlement timing of the Nordic Resources placement impact FY26 financials?
- What are the growth prospects and capital requirements for the Aliwa Alpha Fund and Burleigh Ventures?
- How resilient is Powerhouse’s merchant capital model in volatile market conditions?
